Indexing a Variable in an Input Prompt

I am trying to create and input statement that refrences a changing variable in my code.

Playerturn = 1

prompt = ('Player %i move x: ', Playerturn);

y1 = input(prompt, 's');

I'm able to print the input statement but it prints it as

Player %i move x:

instead of

Player 1 move x:

I have a while loop that changes the value of Playerturn back and forth between 1 and 2, how do I reference the variable in one input statement so that it can work for both players?

prompt = sprintf('Player %i move x: ', Playerturn)

If you're using a release that supports string you can use the + operator for string.

Playerturn = 2;
moveNumber = 1;
y1 = input("Player " + Playerturn + " move " + moveNumber + ": ", 's')
